holy ghost town florida

Corpse

2009-01-27T10:44:00.001-08:00

In sync with the short lived and corpse-like nature of the town that this blog exalts. [& Upon noticing that every link on here is deceased.] & because the writer has been far removed from the 850 area codes for a while.

holy ghost town florida will slowly be transitioning into its namesake.
a brief glimpse at a brief time in the capitol of Florida.

as with the cascades that once fell where the capitol building now stands, it is no more. this site will no longer be updated.

Dickhearse: A Discourse on Dickhorse

2008-07-01T18:49:00.000-07:00

Before being stranded in the black-hole that is New Mexico; I was a Dickhead (ala Deadhead), following these guys on their route across this vast network of ghost towns, America. Notably, an amazing show in Tulsa, OK; closing the night following two pop/lounge singers; needless to say, in typical ghost-town fashion, the room became vacant with the first giant crashing OM of guitar and drums, (except for those at the bar too worried with finding an alternative watering-hole; & that one guy who sat in the shadows digging the sounds tugging his chin with ecstasy.)

Dickhearse were Tallahasseeites that wrote the soundtrack for the city; cocaine on tri-delta mirrors, suicide via drinking the tap water, cops smoking meth and writing speeding tickets to pedestrians, Bobby Bowden shrines in place of homeless shelters...YHVH! I miss this great city already.

Well - For your aural pleasure; this is a recording done at WVFS(.fsu.edu) - Including the songs:
01 Humanism in itself eats itself for itself
02 Benjaminian reversal kick to the post heideggerian mega-dick
03 Mathemagical Foundations
04 Being

New Mexico is an 'enchanted' land, (state motto), filled with time warps, black holes, and time/space points not necessarily in either time or space. We discovered this driving twenty miles out of the town; colliding with a nasty tire rim that sent our vehicle three feet in the air and bending our axle forty five degrees. Stuck in this land for an extended duration, finding shelter in a cheap historic route 66 motel. This is a project I will be releasing for free to the city of Albuquerque; thanks to the discovery of 50 jewel cases in a pizza dumpster (no pizza yet, though).

This Year is the Membrane

2008-05-22T19:35:00.000-07:00

This Year is the Membrane (K. Mali/aka The Ear is the Brain) of Tallahassee, locked himself in a bathroom for a few hours, perhaps after ingesting certain substances, and forced all of his roommates to take their 'business' outdoors while ghost-sounds farted up the layers from the closed door.

Like the Prodigal sun, with two loaves of hemp bread and some cauliflower, he gave me a copy of what he recorded and then subsequently left for Nepal.

Tallahassee is a beautiful town at night. Free of all the faceless daytime entities that bump and shirk. Tonight there were pulses of rain and friends were on the porch drinking, and I zoned out in the recording shed. Several zipcodes out of zone.

Collaborations SOUNDS MUSIC FUN

2008-01-10T22:12:00.000-08:00

From a show circa Nov/Dec '07, I've a bad memory, awash in clouds. It's the recording of the tomb-stone for the night; a coming-together of Krishna (Ear is the Brain) , Bobby (Jijimuge), Jay (Cellular Terror), and Philip (Pornographic Imagination of the Dead). Something like a drunken lullaby in a bar in 618AD Palestine. Repeating notes in the nightmare landscape of 2012 on a sinking boat with four manatees playing awful violin. Drinking whiskey and eating pizza from dumpsters.

Here's a special release by a local Tallahassee project, 'Penis Flytrap and the Army of Candycondom Elves on Jumbo Blimp Magick Hour'.

I had this mp3 in my archive, so for lack of a cd-drive, I find means to disseminate - Penis Flytrap and the Army... is an interesting music-machine; some might say it lacks organs others might say, "Geez, I've gazed at these shoes for so long they've evolved into platypus around my feet! Ah, I have platypus feet." But who cares what 'they' say, enjoy these grooves.

I'll throw in some folk punk - On the Strings of, with two impromptu singers:

Here's a cd release by Philip Harris; Improvisations Inspired by the Tallahassee Summertime: For all the lovely ghosts -- 'I pluck the bulby green rhizomes from blatant patches of green picking grass, falling love with all the shadows of my bleeding ears. I'm drifiting off. I'm a ghost. In a world of ghosts. Inanimate. Destroyed to the scenery.'

Tracks of Collage, drone, lonely detuned guitars at night. Recorded at the now defunct 'THE CAMP' .

This is a limited-run 40CDR release.

Here's an archived performance by Chum Much from WVFS 89.7 Tallahassee. They have artistically evolved beautifully since this recording, (referencing a recent performance that utilized a humungous xylophone -- I have footage of this I may post.) So think of this as a Chum Much tasting.

Dead Legs

2007-11-02T14:10:00.000-07:00

Dead Legs is southern freak music; pine trees, trainyards, uptight pigs, the macrocosm of hill-country. An appalachian clorox nightmare. The CD 'remnants' is sacred electrified campfire ghost songs.

Yellow Crystal Star

2007-11-02T11:59:00.000-07:00

Here's an older release by Yellow Crystal Star, circa 2005. It is packaged in a page from a journal wrapped in brown paper. I think the first track 'the opening' is the only live take, probably recorded at Pocket Sandwich. Track 3, 'Godsilence of Destruction', is beautiful magick music.

I'll throw some more YCS online eventually.

The last appearance of Yellow Crystal Star in Tallahassee, (though spotted afterwards in a few pornographic imaginations,) YCS is soundtrack music to yr third-eye. YCS is now a resident of the Northwest.
